Students StudyingStarting Friday, December 11, the Library and Media Center will have extended hours for all the crying studying you need to do to prep for exams.

As an added bonus, Library classrooms 306, 307, and 321 (which is technically a theater, but whatever) will be open for student use through Thursday, December 17, during open hours. So if you can’t find a spot, check the classrooms for open space! And of course there are the 2nd floor study rooms.

Best of luck!!!!!!!!!

If you like Google Scholar, you’ll love oaFindr!

Have you ever been in the library and thought, “It sure would be awesome if the library had/was/did [fill in the blank]?” Well, this semester is your chance to share all your brilliant ideas and opinions about the SMCM Library!

ANTH 306 (Principles of Applied Anthropology) is collaborating with the SMCM Library on a research project to understand how students (that’s you!) do research and use the library to create a better library experience for everyone. (YAY!)

Have an opinion? Want to share it? Join a focus group and/or be on the look out for ANTH 306 students tabling outside the Great Room where you can participate in quick exercises looking at different areas in the library and how they are used.

Want more information? Interested in participating in the project? Contact Meghan Lang at mtlang@smcm.edu

This Fall, the SMCM Library will be hard at work moving our Research Guides to a shiny new platform.

During the process you may notice the Research Guides looking a little raggedy sparse different as we prepare them for the big move.

If you need research help (at any time!) send us an email at ask@smcm.libanswers.com or stop by the reference desk Monday – Thursday, 10:00am – Noon and 1:00pm – 5:00pm.

SMCM Library Welcomes New Librarian

August 14, 2015 by Amanda VerMeulen

Exciting news! The SMCM library has a new Research and Instruction Librarian.

Amanda VerMeulen joined the library team on August 3, giving her a few weeks to get her bearings on a way too quiet campus before the excitement of the start of the Fall semester.

New Science Librarian Amanda VerMeulen

Science is fun! Photo credit: Veronica Arellano Douglas

Amanda (last name pronounced vur-MULE-in, because we were all wondering) comes to St. Mary’s from the College of Southern Maryland, where she worked as a librarian for almost three years.

At SMCM you might see her in your first year seminar or hanging out with the science types as the library liaison to Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Environmental Studies, Mathematics & Computer Science, Neuroscience, and Physics (plus Economics, for good measure).

And because everyone wants to know: Amanda has a BA in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, an MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, and an MLIS (<–that’s the library one) from Dominican University (it’s in Illinois).

Come see Amanda in her office (Library 125), at the Reference Desk, send her an email, or give her a call to get research help, wax nostalgic about CSM (for all those transfer students out there!), or discuss the finer points of naming your pets after minor character on The Wire (her dog’s name is Mr. Cheese, after Cheese Wagstaff, so…ya know).
